(That was the boilerplate, this is the real human being below:)

I saw your addition to Peter LaBarbera, and I've had to revert it. My feelings on him aside, two of our most important policies at Wikipedia are our neutral point of view policy (WP:NPOV), and our policy on biographies of living people (WP:BLP). The latter you can think of as "if you want to say something negative about a living person, even if it's true, you need to provide a source for the information." That was the main reason your edit caught my eye, the neutrality issue is a little more subtle, but again it boils down to "we should be talking about this as much or as little as reliable sources do", and attribute them were possible. For example, who is to say precisely what is sufficient training to make someone an authority on theology? Better to take words about that, as they reflect an opinion, from the sources that speak to the issue, rather than putting them into Wikipedia's voice.

Sorry if that came off harsh, we're all full of policies and procedures here, and things can be a little hard to figure out at first. If I can be of any help whatsoever, leave me a note on my talk page, that is, User Talk:Joe Decker. Thanks! --j⚛e deckertalk 00:15, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
